Just because automation often disenfranchises lower-wage workers doesn't mean it has to.

This cool new paper by @JennaEMyers shows us that the vendor has quite a bit of power to help management hit KPIs while influencing deployment to help workers!

Curious to know whether/how the company is supporting this policy with other recruitment and hiring practices to make it sustainable. In any case, this would be a game changer for the job seekers I’m currently studying.

Preparing for an job interview is labour and candidates may even have to take time off work to attend an interview. I'm pleased to share that @FoodShareTO will now be compensating folks ($75) for their interviews (approx. 1 hr) to join our team. 1/2

Today, D.C. lifted its indoor mask mandate for bars & restaurants. For 24 months, hospitality workers have been the enforcers of yo-yoing restrictions intended to keep us safe. Please humor me on this monster thread about what they went through so we don't forget.🧵
